Shan Masood's pursuit of three figures ended in heartbreak on the third day of the third Test at Edgbaston. The Pakistan international was halted agonizingly five runs shy of a hundred on 95 following a spectacular piece of fielding. Dan Lawrence produced an exceptional full-length dive to snare the ball, securing a vital wicket for England just as the batter looked set to reach the milestone. The moment provided the hosts with an essential breakthrough during the contest.
